Flagship's expertise extends beyond the operating room, offering the area's premier accredited noninvasive vascular laboratory.  The vascular lab allows Flagship physicians to diagnose major vascular problems and formulate treatment plans.  These plans may range from simple dietary or risk factor management to the use of angioplasty, vascular "stents" or, when necessary major vascular surgical procedures.  In addition, the effect of treatment and progression of disease can be tracked with long-term follow-up of patients.  The vascular lab is staffed with experienced and dedicated technicians which allow for appointments, many times the same day, if medicially indicated.

Flagship's best quality is the experience each of our surgeons brings to the practice every day.  It is truly a team atmosphere, where good judgement and exceptional outcomes are the result of gifted doctors, nurses, technicians and support staff working together to deliver premier care.  If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cardiac, vascular, or thoracic disease PUT YOUR LIFE FIRST.  GET A SECOND OPINION.  TALK TO A CARDIOVASCULAR SURGEON.  CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT TODAY!
